From 2005, under David Cameron’s leadership, a core group of Conservatives embarked upon a campaign to rebrand the Party in the minds of voters. In the arena of international policy, a Conservative commitment to work towards international development spending targets and to maintain a separate Department for International Development (DFID) marked significant shifts in the Conservative approach. Despite these substantial changes in policy, there is relatively little analysis of the role of international development in rebranding

and institutions that have sought to prevent people crossing the Mediterranean to Europe? CAS: What I thought was interesting about SOS when I joined was how it provided an
opportunity for people, particularly young people, to engage politically on issues of migration
but outside of political parties. We have had a lot of people aged 20–35, who have been
willing to get involved because they don’t identify with political parties on this topic,
they want to do something about it and they can

. Globalisation has uprooted people symbolically as well as materially. A growing
‘impulse’ for social protection has received little response from the receding
welfare state. 3 In the absence of an economic
resolution, the assertion of cultural sovereignty has become a fuite en
arrière – a retreat, to nostalgic fantasies of grandeur, fascistic tropes
of national belonging and religious fundamentalisms. 4 Ressentiment has given rise to diverse anti-modern social
phenomena, from ISIS to the Tea Party to the Hindu nationalist movement associated with

civilians to bear the burden of the war. Although the United States was not a party
to the first Geneva Convention, it had developed its own jus in
bello , the Lieber Code, a collection of existing texts aimed at
limiting the violence against the populations of Confederate states. Lieber
acknowledged civilians in the war while explicitly denying them political
recognition. In contrast, civilians caught

words, whether you do things through threats and punishment
or through cooperation. JF: You’ve often referred to a ‘dialectic’ between national
interest and solidarity. The innovation of Brazilian foreign policy during Lula’s
Workers’ Party government is perhaps most notable in the practice of balancing these
motivations. Nonetheless, other governments had previously promoted the idea of compatibility
between interests and values, most notably the New Labour government in Britain, with its
‘ethical foreign policy’, articulated by Foreign Secretary

After the Cold War, in other words, the liberal world order was a fact of life. In Margaret
Thatcher’s immortal words, ‘there is no alternative’. The consequences of this focus on private enterprise, mobile money, weakened unions, reduced

examined purely in terms of efficiency or cost, as it is an important means of
upholding the dignity of individuals and communities impacted by crises,
removing feelings of disadvantage among those working in aid organisations who
are not from the dominant (typically Anglophone) linguistic culture, and
promoting the development of trust between involved parties ( Crack et al. , 2018 ).

point is not made. Instead, the risk of supporting the war aims of a party to
